If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

My boyfriend doesn't do a few of these things, I guess it'll work things out itself.

Not getting nasty when you fight is a big one!

Well I guess I just lucked out because my husband has all these qualities. But It took me a long time to find him but I enjoyed being single. I say

... Stay single until you meet a man like this.

Yaaa...but that won't ever happen 😂😂this is considered as dream that would never ever come true😂but that's alright I'm moving on😅😅

Feeling so lucky he's exactly like this

Thanks so much. I think I'm gonna see if he likes me now that I know he's an alright guy.
